Wow. Turn of the Tide

I received a surprise call this evening from a superficial friend in distress.

By superficial I mean that he is someone on the outside of my circle. He is the husband of a friend of mine.

He and his wife are currently separated but we all live in the same area.

He sent me a text asking if he could come over because he was just feeling lost and didn’t know who to talk to.

Of course I invited him over.

His wife left him as I left my ex.

I had no good advice for him and I certainly couldn’t offer any. I just listened.

It gave me some insight as to what my ex may have been going through while I was going through different things.

In that way he helped me

At the same time it made me feel very sad for my ex.

Of course it made me feel sad for my friend and his wife as well

I was brought back to a time where I had just left my ex and I was lost. And I remember feeling as if I just needed someone to show me kindness and no judgment.

There were many people who did that kindness; no judgment.

I gave him water. I provided a short glass of whiskey. I fed him. I listened.

I feel as if I’ve been able to give back to the universe a little bit for all of the blessings that I’ve received of the last year. The blessings of my friends and my chosen family.

I am very happy to have been there for my friend. I hope he finds peace
